Many strive to look like celebrities or athletes, but Maren Morris' fitness goals are inspired by a fictional character from 'Tomb Raider.' More here!

Now that summer has finally arrived, Maren Morris‘ fitness inspiration has been revealed. In this month’s issue of Women’s Health magazine, the country singer revealed she works hard for a physique like Alicia Vikander’s character, Lara Croft, from Tomb Raider. What keeps her in line? Her phone background featuring Lara Croft.

“I have to look at [it] every time I unlock it — if I’m at a bar, or eating a french fry,” Maren Morris says. “So that’s motivating.”

In the past, the country singer struggled with self-image and eating issues. She cites her fallout after a failed relationship as her call to action.

“When you’re going through emotional turmoil, it’s hard to eat,” Morris explained. “That was a wake-up call: I need to address my mental and physical health.”

Now, Morris says she is feeling healthier and happier than ever.

“[I’ve been] going to therapy, exercising, listening to my partner better, putting my phone down & really enjoying the company of my friends & family when I’m home, trusting my intuition on those I should lean into and those I should avoid, making amends with people (even when it sometimes feels futile), admitting when I’ve screwed up, finding joy during my shows and not overanalyzing every move or word, meditating through my anxiety, letting myself remain open in a society that likes to magnify and mock vulnerability, learning to just EXHALE …,” Morris says on Instagram, “and I feel so much better + finally feel the positive effects of this lifelong process … I’ve never loved my body more.”

Maren Morris’ fitness inspiration is certainly working for her!

This year, I’ve been a “student of the soul.” Going to therapy, exercising, listening to my partner better, putting my phone down & really enjoying the company of my friends & family when I’m home, trusting my intuition on those I should lean into and those I should avoid, making amends with people (even when it sometimes feels futile), admitting when I’ve screwed up, finding joy during my shows and not overanalyzing every move or word, meditating through my anxiety, letting myself remain open in a society that likes to magnify and mock vulnerability, learning to just EXHALE… and I feel so much better + finally feel the positive effects of this lifelong process. Thank you @erinoprea for teaching me that it isn’t about carb paranoia or deprivation, it’s about moderation and enjoyment in tandem with my hard work. I’ve never loved my body more because I finally feel strong in these quads. 🦵🏼 & thank you @lizplosser + @WomensHealthMag for the honor of being your June covergirl! 💪🏼🧜🏼‍♀️✨

In the article from Women’s Health, the beautiful 29-year-old argues that wine is allowed on her diet when she works hard in the gym. However, she is not only a gym rat. The Texas native also works hard in the studio and performing live…

“Girl” Lyrics 

Man, this shit’s unflatterin’, all up in my head again
I don’t feel myself right now, maybe I should just lay down
If vanity’s my vitamin, well, I don’t feel the difference
I don’t like myself right now, gotta find a way out
What you feel is natural
But I don’t wanna feel this anymore
Pick yourself up off the kitchen floor
What you waitin’ for?
Girl, won’t you stop your cryin’?
I know that you’re tryin’
Everything’s gonna be okay
Baby girl, don’t you hang your head low
Don’t you lose your halo
Everyone’s gonna be okay
Baby girl
Draw your comparisons, tryin’ to find who’s lesser than
I don’t wanna wear your crown, there’s enough to go around
What you feel is natural (Natural)
You don’t gotta put up with this anymore (Anymore)
Pick yourself up off the kitchen floor (Oh)
Tell me what you waitin’ for?
Girl, won’t you stop your cryin’?
I know that you’re tryin’
Everything’s gonna be okay
Baby girl, don’t you hang your head low
Don’t you lose your halo
Everyone’s gonna be okay
Baby girl
Girl, don’t hang your head low
Don’t lose your halo, don’t lose your halo
Girl, don’t hang your head low
Don’t lose your halo, oh
Girl, don’t you stop your cryin’
I know that you’re tryin’
Everything’s gonna be okay
Baby girl, don’t you hang your head low
Don’t you lose your halo
Everyone’s gonna be okay
Baby girl, won’t you stop your cryin’? (Won’t you stop your cryin’?)
I know that you’re tryin’
Everything’s gonna be okay (Everything’s gonna be okay)
Baby girl, don’t you hang your head low
Don’t you lose your halo
Everyone’s gonna be okay (Everyone’s gonna be okay)
Baby girl
Everyone’s gonna okay, baby
Mm mm mm, mm mm mm
Hoo hoo hoo, hoo
